Connecting your iPad® to your wireless network is quick and simple. Before connecting, you need to make sure that you have your router’s Wireless Network Name (SSID) and network key or Password. To learn how to check your wireless settings using the Cisco Connect software, click here. To check using Cisco Connect Express, click here.
QUICK TIP: You can also check your router's wireless settings using the iPad®. Click here for instructions.
This article will guide you on how to manually connect your iPad® to the wireless network.
NOTE: To learn how to connect devices using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS) on your iPad® through Cisco Connect Express, click here.
Step 1: On your iPad®’s Home Screen, tap Settings.
Step 2: Select Wi-Fi.
NOTE: If the Wi-Fi feature is OFF, slide the Wi-Fi switch to the right to activate.
Step 3: On the right navigation, tap on your wireless network’s name.

Step 4: Enter your network’s Password in the available field. Tap Join.
Your iPad® should now be connected to your wireless network.
I tried to follow instructions to wireless information and ended up getting a restricted document access denied. Not much help
Here is how to find your password:If you have a Windows computer that is already wirelessly connected:Click the Wireless Icon near the clock>
Select your wireless Network Name>
My Ipad2 does not detect my wireless network name. I have tried enabling and disabling wi-fi feature and powering off and then on ipad2. nothing works.
Please try this, Hold the home button and the power button down until you see the Apple Logo, then release the buttons and allow the iPad to reboot. Then try and connect again.

I have tried rebooting ipad2. Just does not seem to see router or internet. I have no other wireless devices in the house. 2 weeks ago had family here with wireless lap top and they were able to connect wireless
Your best option will be to try and connect to another wi fi and see if the iPad or the router is at fault.
At this time I will have to wait till tomorrow to get access to another wi fi. thanks for your help.
I hope everything is still going well with your wireless network, please let me know if I can be of any assistanceI will be glad to answer any follow up questions you may have.It has been a pleasure to work with you. Thank you very much !
